1M @ Autosport Intl UK

as7920 · 12-30-2010, 03:17 AM

Anyone have any info on the appearance of the 1M at this event in Birmingham, UK between 13th and 16th January.

Is this confirmed?

Apparently this will be the European debut but conflicts with the information Scott had provided previously.

I assume it would be the Orange one shown there earlier this month.

Thanks,

Mark.

I sure hope so. Would be a shorter road trip for us Mark

When I left the project. I was informed the next unveil after Paris would be in the UK which happened at the Autosport awards ceremony just before Christmas.
Because BMW UK have their own 1 Series M Coupe in right-hand-drive format it is possible that they can unveil the car at that show.
But I think Brussels coincides with the UK event?

Could be the same one as the UK reveal last month as well as being the same one featured on Autocar/Pistonheads/Skiddmark in which case it would be the orange one and definitely worth seeing in the flesh!

The european debut will be in Brussels from 14 to 23 January, i think! Scott confirmed that also, in another thread

as7920 · 01-01-2011, 05:12 PM

As long as its there that's all that matters to me!

Don't need to cross any water to get there (other than the Thames that is!)

Saying that Mark a friend of mine that works high up at BMW saw the 1M at Bracknell a couple of weeks ago. Maybe its still there?

Yes mate. That's where I saw it first.

Definitely going to make the trip up there. Thinking of taking my 5 year old boy too!

Hopefully we'll be able to get up close and personal with it.

Cool, thanks. Could you also let us know if they have other colours and also how accessible it is? Can you sit in it? How close can you get etc.

Cheers.

Mark.
